The two-part movie version of the Galaxia Arc pretty much confirmed that everything more or less went back to normal after the final battle. That is one area where Crystal and its movie sequels outshined the original manga. The other area is the battle scenes.
Still, Crystal could've done way better. Take the Tokyo Mew Mew New anime. That series was faithful to the original manga, but at the same time improved upon it by leaps and bounds. For one thing, the show gave the other four members of that magical girl team some time in the spotlight.
You know what's funny? It seems like no two Sailor Moon fans are alike. My sister-in-law LOVES the first dub because it's so campy. Granted, the new dub is plenty silly in and of itself, because that's how the original Sailor Moon was. A lot of people I know don't like "Crystal", but I do know one person who likes it for it's more mature tone.
I've never seen the four concluding movies, and I'd kill to own them. Sadly, I doubt they'll get out of Netflix jail, much less a physical release. At least it's good to know that the ending is less ambiguous than the manga. It was really unclear about what happened to the guardian cats at the end. That part of the manga bothered me.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

The greatest fear is that of the unknown.
