Hourou Musuko is a very fine anime, but giving Okada-san credit is like giving credit to the delivery guy if your pizza was really good. Once the committee made the crucial decision about which parts of the manga to adapt, it was really all about the source material - the portions they adapted are very faithful and literal.
It's certainly fair to judge Okada based on her original series, and I suppose even to compare them - though True Tears and HanaIro are apples and oranges in terms of style and content. For the record, I consider both True Tears and AnoHana to be Okada's best work, and both to be far superior to HanaIro.
