I struggle to get through a lot of subbed shows as I mostly watch tv when multitasking work and marking (thus why I'm so far into Dubbed Overlord over shows I think are better but only have a sub). But this does mean that watching 112 episodes does look like it's beyond me at this time (as I'd like to get back to Hunter x Hunter as my catch up anime).
I'd catch up with Hunter X Hunter for now tbh.
JoJo Part I-III are very closely linked. Part IV-VI are much more self-contained but are still dealing with the fallout of the previous parts and greatly expand upon the power system introduced in Part III. Part VII-VIII starts things afresh but adds even more complexity to the abilities and still has nods to the previous 6 parts throughout.
I'd be hesitant to watch it out of order due to the nature of it being about the different generations of the Joestar bloodline and you often have characters return as an ally and/or mentor.
I haven't watched it myself, but I've seen this posted a few times for people who want to skip to Part V. Still, it would be a shame to miss out on some classic moments.
