Is there a series? I've seen the film and I really liked it.Started Space Pirate Captain Harlock. Nothing really intriguing. Gave up after 5 episodes or so.
So what next?

Just started Death Parade - it's decent
Finally switched over to the One Piece manga. The anime is just too lacklustre these days.
Ow, you were just about to reach Logue Town, and the starting point of the Alabasta Saga - which is where things kicks up a notch. Plus, two critical characters of the One Piece story-line will assume prominent roles in the following arcs:It's just so bloody slow. I watched 80+ episodes before giving up on that.

Dunno, One Piece anime has its ups and downs, but is hardly post-Sasuke Recovery Mission Naruto where the difference is like night and day. Yes, you spend 5 mins per chapter vs 20 per episode so it's more immediately gratifying, and the art is better and more gritty in the manga version with fewer needlessly stretched out fights. But the anime is really good through Drum Island, Alabasta, Skypeia, Water 7, G-8, Enies Lobby - and then Summit War with Sabaody, Amazon Lilly, Impel Down - right up to Marineford - beyond which it hits glacial speed on an annoyingly frequent basis in Fishman Island and Punk Hazard. The manga is undoubtedly better in that it follows canon per Oda and is more condensed, but the non-filler parts of the anime version where the pacing's more consistent is great for binge watching, IMO.They made the right choice. Manga > Anime (when it comes to adaptations).

Er not sure I'd agree with that, though I suspect it's more of a subjective thing. The entirety of One Piece anime isn't littered with copious amounts of unnecessary cut-scenes and flashbacks, and even though I'd read a fair bit of the manga before watching the anime more than a decade ago, it was still an overwhelmingly positive experience because of the characters, the voice acting, the world-building, the funny bits, the music - and much, much more.I guess the problem is if you have already read the manga, the fillers and battle screen with 4/5 cutscenes, flashbacks etc are super annoying, which kills the experience.
Anime when done right with an original script is as good as any form of entertainment on offer. AOTT, CG, Clannad etc...
This looks promising!
