Stardust Celestial is a former adventurer, whose enormous family have been solving people's problems (at a nominal fee) for centuries. After spending his formative years traveling the world and battling villains, Stardust is forced to settle down when his policeman father gets a steady job in Sylville, the so-called "City on the Coast". Not only that, he has to attend high school as well. Having been exposed to (and in many ways experienced) more media than is generally healthy, he goes into it expecting to be picked on by teachers and classmates alike. Then he beats the ever-loving snot out of the school bully on the first day, and it all snowballs from there.
Stardust's acquired GenreSavvy results in just about every high school trope being subverted, averted, lampshaded or outright defied. Sylville Academy's social systems quickly begin to crumble when faced with his vehement refusal to be labeled, and as one may expect, HilarityEnsues as a result. Along the way, he encounters the vast array of personalities at Sylville Academy, from the aforementioned bully (who happens to wield a chainsaw), to a WholesomeCrossdresser ninja, to the very nosy (and very French) reporter who runs a school tabloid. Through it all, Stardust somehow manages to turn a punk, a pervert, an outcast and an ice queen into a circle of friends with a style all their own.
Prepare to have every one of your preconceptions about high school dramedy, anthropomorphic animals, and movies in general thrown out the window and set on fire. Because at Sylville Academy, we don't DO "normal".

Also has a [[Characters/SylvilleAcademy character page]].
!!Sylville Academy contains examples of:
* AcademyOfAdventure: Though at first glance, it appears to be a SuckySchool.
* ActionGirl: Nearly every female character in the cast in one way or another.
* AdultsAreUseless: Averted. The majority of the adults are sensible and give heartfelt (if sometimes misguided) advice.
* AnAesop: Stardust generally tries to invoke one of these at the end of every episode by asking the others what they learned that day. He's known for asking this even when it would be silly or outright dangerous.
* BattleOfWits: Stardust engages Buzz in one of these, only to finish by hitting him in the face.
* ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun: Stardust uses this to break down Gumford's SherlockScan on him, as well as to subtly express skepticism at Ferdy's proclamations of deductive ability.
* ComeToGawk: Mz. Blanco accuses the students of this when they begin gossiping after Stardust and Buzz's fight.
* CoolCar: Stardust's convertible, which his mother won't let him drive because he doesn't have a license.
* CoolTeacher: Several.
* CrashIntoHello: Stardust and Nycto first meet when they collide as Nycto is fleeing a mob of angry cheerleaders.
* DisapprovingLook: Stardust and Arista are both very fond of these. Arista's even has "jii~" in the background as she gives it.
* DividedStatesOfAmerica: Takes place in Cascadia, consisting of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, in an alternate universe where they seceded out of anger at not being given proper attention by the more easterly Ottawa and DC.
* DodgeballIsHell: Not taken to the physical extreme, but the students tend to take it more seriously than they should.
* DopeSlap: Stardust's mother slaps him in the back of the head for putting his feet up on the dashboard while she's driving.
* FetishFuel: The episode ''Expandamonium'' references and all but caters to inflation fetishists, right down to Stardust remarking "Oh, I bet [[http://virus-20.deviantart.com/ Virus-20]] is just ''loving'' this."
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Stardust
** TheLancer: Pollen
** TheSmartGuy: Arista
** TheBigGuy / TheSneakyGuy: Nycto (though he's not all that big)
** TheChick: Shirley
** SixthRanger: Gumford
* FlatWhat
* FurryReminder: More common than you'd think.
* GangOfBullies: Pollen is part of this at first, though she [[HeelFaceTurn leaves early on]] and is replaced by [[AlphaBitch Passion]].
* GenderEqualEnsemble: Mostly.
* GenreThrowback: To 90s high-school movies.
* GiveGeeksAChance
* GreekChorus: Sylville Academy has its very own Greek Chorus ''Club'', dedicated mainly to providing commentary on events and [[SpontaneousChoreography backup for spur-of-the-moment musical numbers]].
* HandsOffParenting
* HiddenDepths: Every character who has an impact on the plot has at least some of the depth of their character expanded upon.
* HighSchoolDance: The entire third act of ''[[TheMovie Homecoming]]'' revolves around a mid-October homecoming dance (hence the name).
* HippieParents: Pollen's parents, Honey and Comb.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: All five of the main cast tend to act high and mighty due to personal insecurities.
* InsultBackfire: Arista's attempts to tear down Stardust often fail because he's well aware of his shortcomings.
* IronicEcho: "One day, that mouth of yours is gonna get you killed."
* ItsACostumePartyISwear: Played with. [[spoiler:Stardust dresses in a replica of Prince's costume in the music video of "Partyman", subsequently arranging a reference to said music video for his entrance.]]
* LampshadeHanging: EVERYWHERE.
* MachoDisasterExpedition: Completely averted. Both sides thrive fairly well (for their extremely limited camping experience). Still, they eventually decide to enjoy their trip as a group instead of turning it into a sexist contest.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment: Invoked by Stardust.
* MundaneFantastic
* NerdsAreSexy: Mentioned by name, though not actually used.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: Defied by Stardust when he insists that Nycto talk to the girls instead of spying on them.
* PacManFever: Justified - Jiggly's arcade specializes in games from the [[TheEighties 80s]] and [[TheNineties 90s]].
* PhotographicMemory: Gumford specifically states that his memory is eidetic, then explains why he believes so. Stardust quickly points out that he's actually describing hyperthemesia.
* [[spoiler:ReasonableAuthorityFigure]]
* ReferenceOverdosed: Several of the references are very obscure, referencing episodes nobody remembers from shows nobody watched.
* SadistTeacher: Averted.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Mz. Blanco can seemingly make her glasses do this at will.
* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: Blatantly averted. Several students are clearly fearful of Buzz, and even after Stardust completely humiliates him in front of several students, Buzz continues his violent behavior.
*SchoolPlay: The entire plot of ''Bushy Tale Theater'', which in itself is a blatant reference to ''Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater''.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Invoked and referred to by name.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender
* SparingTheAces: Mz. Blanco chooses not to report Stardust getting into a brawl even when she has full authority to.
** Later done by [[spoiler:Principal Morpheus, when he chooses not to expel the cast.]]
* SpontaneousChoreography: The main job of the Greek Chorus Club. Somehow, they always know where and when they're needed, and can perform any song-and-dance number as if they'd been doing it their whole lives. To date, nobody knows how they do it, but as ''Choral Grief'' establishes, the school's composure goes downhill fast should they ever stop.
** What's more, the ending of ''Djinn and Tonic'' implies that it happens on impulse.
* SternTeacher: Mz. Blanco, at least on the surface. Deep down she's actually very kind and fair to her students.
* StuffedIntoALocker: Lampshaded.
* TheBechdelTest: Invoked by Shirley in [[GirlsNightOutEpisode ''Ladies Only, Gentlemen Forbidden'']], where she takes Pollen and Arista golfing.
** "We are gonna go out, we are gonna have fun, and we are NOT gonna talk about guys!" ''(cue a timer appearing in the bottom right corner of the screen and counting up)''
* TheSmurfettePrinciple / TwoGirlsToATeam: Lampshaded and defied - ''Three'' of the five main characters are female.
* ThirdActMisunderstanding: Lampshaded and defied - Stardust refuses to allow anything so contrived, particularly since it's also his PetPeeveTrope.
* ThisIsReality: "No it isn't. It's just something that passes for reality."
* ThisLoserIsYou: Lampshaded.
* TraitorShot: Lampshaded.
* TrueCompanions: Lampshaded. Arista even refers to it by its Japanese name of ''nakama''.
* VerbalJudo: Stardust is a master of this, but it happens several times by different characters.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Taro.
* WildTeenParty: In ''Home Is Where the Party At''.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Stardust and Pollen.
* WomenAreWiser: Averted so, so hard. The girls tend to fare no better than the guys at common sense.
* WondrousLadiesRoom: Played with in ''Where No Man Has Gone Before''. The girls' bathrooms have little perks like full-length mirrors and potted plants, but they're usually left in far worse condition because "teenage girls are much messier than they think they are".

The flagship series of MisterEightySix, which he swears will be on TV one day.
Stardust Celestial is a former adventurer, whose enormous family have been solving people's problems (at a nominal fee) for centuries. After spending his formative years traveling the world and battling villains, Stardust is forced to settle down when his policeman father gets a steady job in Sylville, the so-called "City on the Coast". Not only that, he has to attend high school as well. Having been exposed to (and in many ways experienced) more media than is generally healthy, he goes into it expecting to be picked on by teachers and classmates alike. Then he beats the ever-loving snot out of the school bully on the first day, and it all snowballs from there.
Stardust's acquired GenreSavvy results in just about every high school trope being subverted, averted, lampshaded or outright defied. Sylville Academy's social systems quickly begin to crumble when faced with his vehement refusal to be labeled, and as one may expect, HilarityEnsues as a result. Along the way, he encounters the vast array of personalities at Sylville Academy, from the aforementioned bully (who happens to wield a chainsaw), to a WholesomeCrossdresser ninja, to the very nosy (and very French) reporter who runs a school tabloid. Through it all, Stardust somehow manages to turn a punk, a pervert, an outcast and an ice queen into a circle of friends with a style all their own.
Prepare to have every one of your preconceptions about high school dramedy, anthropomorphic animals, and movies in general thrown out the window and set on fire. Because at Sylville Academy, we don't DO "normal".
