Yes, despite how controversial regarding its reception, JoJo Part 5 is one of my favorite manga of all time, and its messages and themes have influenced my life as well. I will be adding it to my collection from day one

For the longest time the only English translation available was of horribly subpar quality. Not even of memetic Duwang levels, just plain bad and plainly made up in others.

The arc itself was very boring and while the anime version had it's good points, it took a while to get there and then fell off a cliff at the end.

I think it was very boring just to you, since much of the consensus about Golden Wind is that is one of the best Parts of JoJo, except for that weird fight with Diavolo, and the anime itself made a lot of improvements. Probably you just saw an isekai anime or something, hence why you found it "boring" Rolling Eyes .

The only argument that could be made would be that unintelligible fight with Diavolo. Beside that, the overall arc is pretty great.
