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.

I don't like anime in general; there are exceptions (Princess Mononoke comes to mind) but the tropes common to around 90% of anime irritate the crap out of me. That's not being closed minded, that's simply not being a fan of overly melodramatic high school aged main characters, cutesy mascot co-stars, technicoloured hair, and other such widespread cliches.
