Apparently it was "too soft", "got details wrong", and "didn't carry the original tone of Tove Jansson's works", nevermind that even if we only observe Tove's original material (novels, comics, picture books), the tone already varies wildly between different installments, and there are at least two completely different continuities.

I'm aware the anime didn't do a stellar job portraying the latest books, and on the other hand, the more "bookverse" tone of the anime didn't really... match... some of the times when they tried to base episodes on the more adult/satirical comics instead, but overall I think it did a pretty stellar job of making something internally cohesive out of the source material.

I also think that while it falls short of catching the more bittersweet tone of the later books *while actually adapthing them*, a lot of the original (not closely based on existing plots) episodes and plotlines actually do catch the more melancholy later-book vibes rather well (if not *quite* to the same extent), so it evens out.

And some book plots such as "The Last Dragon" (except for the bit with the hat maybe) actually got adapted near perfectly.
