Well, then you don't have an open mind. Saying that is like saying: I have sampled a Hollywood movie and I didn't like it.

Anime is very different. Take for example: Mushishi, Serial Experiments Lain, Parasyte Maxim, Nichijou and Akatsuki no Yona. These series fit together well as Stranger Things, How I met your Mother, Primer, 300 and finding nemo would fit into the same category - not at all. So if you put Anime together so as if it would be all the same you don't treat anime fairly.

I've tried many anime shows, many anime movies, and many games like an anime style. In the majority of cases I find the style and associated conventions annoying.

Having an "open mind" doesn't mean you're not allowed to dislike things.

I mean, anime is incredibly broad, so it kind of is not having an open mind. Saying you don't like anime is like saying you don't like live-action. The only "associated conventions" and "style" are being animated and being produced in Japan.
