I started with the latest one the one, _JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind_
and came to know that the anime is even older. Found many series dating back
to 2012. So, as I started watching the 2012 series, I saw that it is a vampire
genre. Vampire -> Stand. I don't see any connection.

I saw a [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/cpCcSwkw7L4?t=254) of the strongest
immortal characters and there's a listing of a character from these anime. So,
I don't want to miss any connection if there is one, as I am planning to skip
the 2012 series because of its genre (vampire).

Are any JoJo's anime related?

Yes, they are connected. Just from
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_\(TV_series\))
about Season 1 (the 2012 series),

> The first season aired in Japan between October 5, 2012 and April 5, 2013,
> with episodes 1-9 covering the Phantom Blood arc, and episodes 10-26
> covering the Battle Tendency arc. **The first part follows a young man named
> Jonathan Joestar** who becomes involved in a battle against Dio Brando, who
> uses the power of a mysterious Stone Mask to become a vampire. **The second
> part takes place fifty years later as Jonathan's grandson, Joseph Joestar**
> , faces up against the Stone Mask's creators, the Pillar Men.

while for Season 2,

> The second season, titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders,
> **adapts the series third story arc** , Stardust Crusaders. Set in 1987,
> **the story follows Joseph's grandson, Jotaro Kujo** , and his companions as
> they seek to defeat DIO, who has placed a curse on his mother, using special
> abilities known as Stands.

as per the premise,

> JoJo's Bizarre Adventure tells the story of the Joestar family, a family
> whose various members discover they are destined to take down supernatural
> foes using powers that they possess. The story is split up into unique
> parts, each following one member of the Joestar family, who inevitably has a
> name that can be abbreviated to the titular "JoJo".

you can see that the series are connected directly by the fact that they
follow the Joestar family, and Season 1 and 2 are connected beyond that just
the bloodline as [on the _Stardust Crusaders_ Wikipedia
page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardust_Crusaders)

> Joseph explains that the sudden appearance of Stands among the Joestar
> bloodline is caused by the nemesis of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar: the
> vampire Dio Brando. Having succeeded in taking Jonathan's body after his
> assumed demise in the 19th century and resurfacing a few years prior, Dio
> has awoken his own Stand and recruited Stand-using assassins to kill
> Jonathan's remaining descendants.
