I agree, keeping yourself away from an anime overdose is the key. When browsing titles, it seems like there are way too many movies out there that are really just the same. I am no anime-file, but I do enjoy watching the occasional movie. If you stick to proven good ones , you might be able to get back into it somewhat. Take a month off and then watch Ninja Scrolls.
Or get away from traditional anime and go for some nice dark american animation like Spawn.
