So, it is the last episode! What did you all think?

I liked last episode better because the art was fantastic. And I guess I was hoping to see more during the epic moment when Sailor Moon met Neo Queen Serenity. It was one of the most beautiful panels in the manga.

Anyway, they said à bientôt (see you soon) in the end, instead of au revoir (goodbye), so it could mean there will be more later? But then again I'm pretty sure they also said "See you again" at the end of PGSM and we all know what happened to that xD

I haven't read any of the message above me, but are there going to be episodes past episoe 26? (Also gonna marathon them tonight.)

I was pretty emotional most of this episode, I'm pretty pleased they used their "good team" for their last two episodes. Of course adjustments can always be made before BD release, but I thought the episode, art-wise, was very spot on and absolutely beautiful <3 

Chibi-Moon's senshi speech was just way too adorable, I really enjoyed her presence in Crystal, as a whole <3  I think they portrayed her really well, and I really felt for her. Her interactions with Serenity just made me tear up <3 since I hadn't read this arc of the manga in total, I didn't know she would be a part of the final battle, I thought that was such an amazing way to build up her confidence and she could finally accept that she IS powerful, and her emotional/loving self is not a bad thing.

I just can never get over how adorable Usagi looks in bed and PJs and her million bows <3 She looked so beautiful this whole episode, and I loved the interaction with the Queen, that although they are very different, but really, very much the same. I loved the letter at the very end, so very "Baka-Usagi"  haha

It's so bittersweet that this was the final episode for now, but I loved the conclusion of this story line. I really wished there was more to look forward to, I just hope there will be good news in the future. I wouldn't even mind some OVAs of ministories of future arcs/side stories, I would just love to see Uranus/Neptune animated again especially <33

Everything they did in the ending of this episode was from the S arc. In the ending of the original manga, it ended at the rose petals. I do believe they will be doing the rest of them, unless they are being the infamous Trolloei Animation.

I was waiting to see NQS and Usagi's meeting since the black moon arc was announced. I loved this episode. It was emotional for me as well.

Not in the near future, me thinks. I'm guessing if they are going to continue SMC I think we can expect a hiatus of anywhere from 3-12 months.

That was a lovely final episode~ I got all emotional when Crystal Tokyo became to normal and when Sailor Moon met her future self. Neo Queen Serenity is really pretty in SMC! Also at the time Usagi and Chibiusa said goodbye to each other, too.

The Cosmic Compact and the Spiral Heart Moon Rod were nicely done. The only thing that bugged me was Chibiusa wearing a identical compact at the end... What? She got a different one, though is heart shaped, too. And in the manga act she isn´t wearing it at all O_o

I´m 90% sure they will make the Infinity arc. But I hope the animation improves a bit.

There are some panels where she is wearing a heart shape, but in some it is non existent. O.o
Referring to when she's about to leave for Crystal Tokyo after the Queen and Usagi meet.

I absolutely loved this episode and thought it was a fantastic way to end the season.  I loved it when Chibi Moon got her own Moon Rod and I loved that her Moon Rod is actually powerful this time.  It always annoyed me a bit that in the original anime they treated Chibi Moon's powers as a running gag instead of as a serious character so I was really happy to see her powers in Crystal.   Neo Queen Serenity was just amazing in this episode and I love how she just whips out her Moon Rod and in like one flash she restores Crystal Tokyo.  Oh, and Crystal Tokyo just looked really beautiful in this episode too.  I too loved the scene where Neo Queen Serenity and Usagi meet for the first time and seeing the contrast in their personalities and the sweet scene of the future Soldiers waving goodbye to their past selves and Luna and Artemis being shocked at their future selves.  The scene where Chibi-usa says goodbye to Usagi and they tell each other to stop crying was just really emotional and made me teary eyed.  And the scene of Chibi-usa falling from the sky and giving the cute note from Neo Queen Serenity written just how Usagi would write it was the perfect way to end it and was totally giving me the 90s anime feels.  I was also excited when the Inners got their Planet Power upgrade this soon in the series as opposed to the old show where they had to wait all the way until SuperS for it.  I really hope they're going to make another season of Crystal as Infinity is one of my favorite arcs of Sailor Moon and I just love the Outer Soldiers.  That they included the upgrade of Usagi's wand and brooch, the Inners getting their Planet Power upgrades, had Chibi-usa return at the end, and showed "see you soon" at the final scene, combined with the new upcoming musical and Spiral Heart Moon Rod Proplica makes me optimistic we will see more episodes of Crystal made eventually though we may have to wait a few months before new episodes are made.  Toei also stated on their official Twitter account to keep an eye on their official Japanese Sailor Moon site for any further announcements.

I believe they're following the manga reprints, which does end where Crystal ended. Still, they didn't have to do all that if they weren't planning S. I don't know.

The episode as a whole was great, though I couldn't help but feel it was a bit...rushed? The final battle between Double Moon and Death Phantom is a blur to me. But I guess that's just so we can get a glimpse of Crystal Tokyo. Not a problem really, since we got that heartfelt scene between NQS and Moon.

I'm pretty positive we're getting the Infinity Arc! Though I'm hoping the Inners will have bigger roles this time around. That and better animation, lol! But, we'll see!

One thing that did kind of confuse me though is one scene where Usagi tells Mamoru she can only activate the Silver Crystal when Mamoru is near her and I'm like since when?   I don't know if that was just an awkward translation issue from the subtitles or what but I'm pretty sure Usagi has used the Silver Crystal without Mamoru before.   Didn't she use it when she was trapped on Nemesis?  Was this line in the manga?  It's been awhile since I've read it so I can't recall.   But I loved how after they defeated Death Phantom, they showed the solar system and had the same music they played in the first scene of episode one.  I thought that was a pretty neat way of bringing the show full circle.

I looked at the screen caps for this episode. Bleh the scene where Usagi's meets NQS is bland looking.  It looked beautiful in the manga. The flowing hair and clothes. The expressions on their faces.

I cried so much because it's the end (for now) and because of the emotional weight of many conversations.

However, I noticed A LOT of bad art and animation, which I hope they fix for the TV broadcast and Blu-Rays.

Most everyone else covered my thoughts and feelings about this episode, so I won't say much else, but I wouldn't be surprised if an announcement of an Infinity adaptation come in November/December after all the BluRays are released and SMC is done airing on international TV networks.

that was the last one?? No wonder I haven't seen any more episodes

Maybe the thing about "only when Mamoru is near" was mistranslated? Maybe what Usagi really meant was "I can only do this with your support," or "I can only do this because your love makes me strong."
