I'm way too lazy to look up the entire anthology myself and figure out which titles to watch and in what order to do so. I recently came across the synopsis of the Steel Ball Run manga which seems rather enthralling. But since it's set in an alternate timeline (according to the synopsis i read), does it mean every other title is skippable? I'm also aware that the OVA's and Mangas cover different arcs and aren't chronoligical.

Like i said, i'm way too confused and lazy to look this up myself.

So considering the popularity of the show i'm sure there'll be someone here that can help.

What is the order to best watch the series in? Anime and/or Manga.

Recommend me some short Manga!

Yes, considering i'd rather just scour these forums and attend to other things rather than halfheartedly waste my time reading a wiki article that someone else more knowledgeable can condense for me here.

Ah, I can see why my post seems weird. And don't get me wrong, I plan to. I just don't feel like investing so much time in the entire series which is extremely lengthy especially when i have a ton of other Anime and Manga to get through first.

It's just the synopsis of the Steel Ball Run seems fun as heck to the point i want to read it before all else.

You could technically go ahead and read SBR (Part 7) while understanding most of it, but there are most likely going to be some parts of it that go over your head.

I probably wouldn't recommend doing so, but there's nothing wrong with it if you really want to.
As for the order, go ahead and watch all four parts of the anime that are out and then pick up with the manga at 5, 6, and 7. If you manage to finish that/find yourself enjoying the series, it might be a good idea to read Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable).

To get the Most enjoyment from JoJo Part 7 you have to Watch/ Read atleast Parts 1-3 because SBR is an Alternate universe remake of them. I reccommend you Wach all of JoJo in this Order.

Part 1 and 2 :JoJo No Kimyou Na Boken (2012)
Part 3 :JoJo no Kimyou Na Boken Stardust Crusaders (2014)
Part 3.5: JoJo no Kimyou na Boken Stardust Crusaders S2 (2015)
Part 4: JoJo no Kimyou na Boken Diamond wa Kudakenai (2016)

After That go Read JoJo in this Order
Part 5: GioGio no Kimyou na Boken: Vento Aureo
Part 6: JoJo no Kimyou na Boken: Stone Ocean
Part 7: JoJo no Kimyou na Boken :Steel Ball Run (Reimagining of Parts 1, 2 and 3)
And the get Caught up with Part 8: JoJo no Kimyou na Boken: JoJolion (Which is a Reimagining of Part 4) It is totally Worth it. Its better to read it in this order. I learned that the hard way.

There are a Couple extras to the JoJoverse like the Old Stardust Crusaders OVAs Which change stuff from the manga to make it Shorter or the Rohan wa Ugokenai Spinoff OVAs of Part 4. Those are kind off optional. If you like jojo you should read/watch it anyway.

Well, you COULD read Steel Ball Run first, but maybe you'll appreciate it more if you read the previous parts. One of the things I like from Jojo is that a lot of things are connected, even between parts. So maybe something that seem irrelevant while you read SBR may have more value if you read the rest of Jojo.
