This episode is a fan favorite and for good reason. Not only is it an epic adventure, but like TheMysteriousMrEnter said in his Admirable Animation for this episode, it does the gender stereotypes very tastefully.
Numbuh Four is sent to a boarding school, and it is different from all the ones he's been sent to before. It is a school of girls ran by a headmistress who is determined to rid the world of boys. There is then a future where few boys are left, and Numbuh Three's granddaughter is willing to help them and undo everything that has been done.
Madame Margaret is a suitably crazy villain, and the characters in the post-apocalyptic future (The Boys Next Door) are really cool. Numbuh 3's granddaughter was a really neat character as well.
There is thrilling action aplenty and the stakes are pretty high. The way the story unfolds and the way the time travel comes into play is brilliantly done.
What's really admirable about it is that the gender stereotypes here are handled in a way where it doesn't come off as offensive.
A lot of the best KND episodes are some of the half-hour ones, and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.
RATING: A
