A tad more seriously and thoroughly: if you enjoyed this show, it is quite likely that you were enthralled by its intriguing, deep and stimulating script, so give this other show a try, as we are talking about the same scripter here!
Can the same scripter be a sufficient element to favour any show?
Imho, yes. At least if it's about some big shot like Konaka or few others that we are talking about.
Such a capable artist doesn't limit his part to providing a top-notch script: his genius pervades the whole work and other elements like the soundtrack, the fluidity of animation and even the directing become merely instrumental in conveying deeper meanings.

add recBoth of these anime films mix completely undeveloped romantic melodrama with utterly incomprehensible science fiction nonsense; they are also quite splendidly animated and share much of the same aesthetic. The RahXephon film leans much on its mindscrew aspect and is only comprehensible if you have seen the series (if that to be honest); The Place Promised in Our Early Days relies far more heavily on the romantic aspect and as impressive as RahXephon's animation is this even surpasses it. I don't really care for either film but it's just about possible if you enjoyed one for this mix you may also like the other one.

A tad more seriously and thoroughly: if you enjoyed this show, it is quite likely that you weren't taken by an astonishing graphic appeal; you were much more likely taken by the story's deeper meaning and by how they were told to you.
Is a name still a quality guarantee in the modern day anime industry?
If we are talking about few very respected names like Konaka, Kuroda or Shinkai, my answer is without doubt "yes".

add recIf you prefer to see the condensed version of an anime series, or alternate retelling, both RahXephon the Motion Picture and Death and Rebirth allow the entire series to be encapsulated within the feature length. Both are mecha based, have a main protagonist who for reasons against his will fight to save the world and follow the same show format. As a result, if you enjoyed the shortened version of either series, then the other will be a good compliment to go with it.
