Sailor Moon invented mini-arcs in case new seasons weren't picked up or when they had to Snap Back after Overtaking the Manga, such as the mindwipe in the first season.
This is the reason the anime-only Doom Tree Filler Arc at the beginning of Sailor Moon R exists. Naoko Takeuchi had planned for the manga to end after Queen Beryl was defeated, but eventually agreed to continue it. They had to wait for Takeuchi to write enough of the next arc though, so they created the Doom Tree arc to fill time.
This is particularly noticeable in SuperS, which shares almost nothing in common with its manga counterpart and is noted for having had a significant ratings drop in Japan, a well as being most of the fandom's least favorite series. In the final season, they broke their rule of one Big Bad per season for a mini-arc that brought back the rest of the cast and properly ended the previous series by recycling the Big Bad of SuperS. After that arc, the proper Big Bad, Galaxia, showed up and the real plotline started.
The Sailor Moon anime started in March of 1992. The manga? February - the manga only started because Toei Animation wanted to create an anime from it. Furthermore, while the anime was weekly, the manga was monthly. In other words, this trope was going to happen from the very beginning. And then there's the fact that the manga included plots like say... three of the Sailors being captured and disappearing from the story until their rescue several chapters later. The anime, running concurrently with and at a faster rate than the manga, simply couldn't adapt these plots at all. (In the case of the Sailors' abduction, the plot was reduced to a two-part episode where they were all freed at the end). No wonder the 2014 reboot is said to be closer to the manga - they can actually animate these plots now that the manga is finished.

Je suis tombé sur ces informations assez délicieuses. Sailor Moon anime est un produit original, le manga ne serait qu'un moyen de soutenir son lancement. Faisant de Crystal la premiere réelle adaptation du manga.
