I’m a little lost

I'm at a standstill when it comes to anime. A while ago I watched Monster and enjoyed the heck out of it, and now I'm trying to search for that same joy and excitement but nothing even begins to come close.

I've read hundreds of recommendations and taken numerous breaks, yet I just can't seem to find "it." Maybe Monster is irreplaceable or I don't know what I want.

Has anyone else felt this way when it comes to media?
