Are there any Anime style games similar like Baldurs Gate?
like a party turnbased with exploration and having items and spells and a big area

Anime IDK, I don't think any anime's really have anything like that.
I know there are a few action based ones but they are not turn based and there really isn't any character building in most of em.

There are a number of very good isometric RPG's that have more of a hand drawn art style though.

Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous from the pathfinder 1e setting are really good.
Arcanum of steamworks and magika is very good.

Pillar's of eternity 1 & 2 is also pretty good.

There are quite a few others as well.

Check out Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children. It's not a cinematic, narrative-driven rpg like BG3, but closer in gameplay to something like Firaxis' XCOM. The tactical combat is great and there is a large cast of characters to build your squad from.

Build diversity in this game is HUGE, with a ton of skills to upgrade and combine to form synergy combos, as well as loot drops and a fully-featured gear crafting and upgrade system.

I cannot recommend this game highly enough. Truly a hidden gem in the genre.

For better or for worse most games in the isometric WRPG style tend to use a similar artstyle. Basically everything tries to look as realistic as the technology they're using allows, with the most cartoony being in the rough NWN2 era. Which is also the era that stuck most stubbornly to RTWP combat, a.k.a. the worst of both worlds.

JRPGs emulating the NES/SNES era might serve you better, I personally very much enjoyed Dragon Quest 11. But they are going to trend to menu based combat over tactical positioning.

I do agree about PoE, but I have avoided Wrath of the Righteous because I read that it has the same problems as Kingmaker. And, after quite a few hours in Kingmaker... I had to come to the conclusion that I really did not like that game, especially the later part of it. And the (I suppose) Durlag's Tower/Watcher's Keep- inspired added dungeon gauntlet in KM is just horrible, I very much prefer the Modron Maze from Planescape:Torment over it, and that maze was practically meant and designed to be a bit frustrating.

That said: maybe Planescape:Torment, dated though it is, might actually kind of qualify, if you look for a turn-based CRPG with a hand drawn look. Even the theme has something anime-ish, maybe. Really great setting, though, and a nice story! Even, to an extend, ties in to Baldur's Gate, in that some of it takes place in Avernus (and a large part is set in the extraplanar city of SIgil, which one of the companions in BG2 hails from)

Not exactly like Baldur's Gate but Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSX is spectacular, you can easily emulate because Square doesn't want our money and won't remaster it. :p

People are still making videos about this game... this one is 4 days old.

To Op,
The answer is NO.
However, there are Tactical J-RPGs that are close, less exploration more combat.
Final Fantasy Tactics, like the above poster said is darn good & the remake for PSP & IOS.
It was made by the Ogre Battle: Let us cling together team, wich itself is another great one.

Others include
Most NIS titles: Disgaea, La Pucelle Tatics, Rapshody
Fire Emblem, all of them
Super Robot Wars (actual anime Mecha cross over game) only 1 game on steam out of 29

You could look up Heroe's Adventure: Road to Passion. its not as popular as any of the other games mentioned but it has similar decision making and party make ups like baldurs gate and its anime style.

There's a TON of Tactical JRPG's.

Disgeae for one
Ogre Tactics
Final Fantasy tactics

Suikoden & Fire Emblem

there's a ♥♥♥♥ ton of them honestly

Now Anime style CRPG?, not that i can think off.

The 2 styles of games as always been seperate, CRPg's being the Western side of Role playing games.

And JRPG's being...well the Japanese style of Role playing games.

SO having ONe cross over to the other is unheard off as far as i can tell.

Maybe in the futur who knows?

It seems some at square are interested in making a new Tactics... I wonder if the success of bg3 is inspiring more devs to make tactical rpgs hmm...
