History Animation / HayopKaTheNimfaDimaanoStory

* AnAesop:
** Cheating is wrong, especially if you only [[GoldDigger like the guy for his money.]]
** Also, don't be a SocialClimber.

* CarnivoreConfusion: One wonders just what … animals make up things like hotdogs in a world where Roger beats up two chauvinist (and literal) pigs for (literally) [[IncrediblyLamePun cat]]-calling Nimfa. (Possibly vegan options, but that wouldn't quite explain the at least nominally carnivorous species—dogs have adapted to be omnivores, but cats are largely ''obligate'' carnivores; they can't survive on plants, though they occasionally chew grass.)

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Nimfa calls a radio show that gives out love advice to talk about her cheating on Roger with Iñigo, [[spoiler:getting pregnant by her ex who was now shacking up with her best friend]], the deejay gleefully tears Nimfa a new one by calling her a slut (using her MeaningfulName against her--see above), a social climber (when Nimfa says she would have a better future with Iñigo), and basically reprimanding her for leaving a good man since another woman has taken him already. Obviously, it just made her feel worse, but she got a free burger from [[IncrediblyLamePun Jollibog]] out of it.

* AnAesop: Cheating is wrong, especially if you only [[GoldDigger like the guy for his money.]]

* DoubleMeaningTitle: The Filipino "Hayop Ka!" translates to English as "You Animal!", reflecting both Nimfa's wild habits and [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals the fact that literally every character is an animal]].

* MeaningfulName: "Nimfa" is close sounding to "Ninfa", the Spanish derivative of "Nymph", as in, say … ''nymphomaniac''.

* SoapOpera: And not necessarily in a bad way. The creators have explicitly said this was based on Pinoy radio deejays who dispense wisdom on love, sex and relationships to their adoring audience.
** {{Telenovela}}: Shares certain tropes with this SoapOpera subgenre, including Latino-style "smouldering passion" scenes and certain old-school Hispanic (think colonial) names.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Nimfa discovers the rich womanizer only saw her as another girl he could screw.]]

* CoitusEnsues: Inevitably happens between Nimfa and Roger once in a while … and later, after Nimfa happens upon Iñigo in the resort shower.

* ShesGotLegs: This is evident whenever Nimfa wears something short, which is most of the time.

* PantyShot: The shortness of Nimfa's salesgirl dress effectively guarantees this to happen at some point, such as whenever she sits cross-legged.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ironically not involving any literal mice, but Jhermelyn and Roger just kinda disappear after [[spoiler:er:Nimfa sees that they've become live-in partners and angrily telling Roger she's pregnant with his child. And whether Jhermelyn and Nimfa remained best friends after that is not known or if Roger is involved in the life of their child.]]

* TheCasanova: Iñigo has had a string of lovers as relayed by several characters with Marie and Nimfa being his latest conquests. [[spoiler: This does not end well for him once the latter catches him with the other woman.]]

* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler: Iñigo]]'s ultimate fate after [[spoiler:Nimfa finds out he only liked having sex with her and not much else.]]

* PrinceCharmless: [[spoiler: Iñigo]], as it turns out, when his idea of [[spoiler:stopping Nimfa and Marie from tearing each other apart]] is by telling them they could share him, disregarding the feelings of both women. [[spoiler:Nimfa sends him flying out the window of his office for this.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Nimfa calls a radio show that gives out love advice to talk about her cheating on Roger with Iñigo, [[spoiler: getting pregnant by her ex who was now shacking up with her best friend]], the deejay gleefully tears Nimfa a new one by calling her a slut (using her MeaningfulName against her--see above), a social climber (when Nimfa says she would have a better future with Iñigo), and basically reprimanding her for leaving a good man since another woman has taken him already. Obviously, it just made her feel worse, but she got a free burger from [[IncrediblyLamePun Jollibog]] out of it.

* SuperStrength: Roger's fights with other people exaggerates it to the point that it ends up looking like this, especially when he totals Iñigo's car with his bare paws when he thought he was inside it. Likewise, when Nimfa decides to get physical, it also ends up with the other person being flung a good distance away [[spoiler: or in Iñigo's case, thrown out of the window from the top floor of a super tall building.]]
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: Nimfa discovers the rich womanizer only saw her as another girl he could screw.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ironically not involving any literal mice, but:
** Jhermelyn and Roger just kinda disappear after [[spoiler: Nimfa sees that they've become live-in partners and angrily telling Roger she's pregnant with his child. And whether Jhermelyn and Nimfa remained best friends after that is not known or if Roger is involved in the life of their child.]]
** [[spoiler: Iñigo suffers DestinationDefenestration courtesy of Nimfa and is never seen again. She even lampshades this with a joke by saying he's at a flight and she does not know when he'll be landing.]]

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Nimfa's saleslady uniform is a single piece, so it's technically not (just) a skirt, but it is still very … short.

* {{Meganekko}}: Jhermelyn, Nimfa's bunny best friend and coworker.

** Taken [[UpToEleven one step further]]: the phrase is actually a derogatory expression used to convey contempt towards someone, in the same vein as "You son of a bitch!", alluding to Roger's reaction towards Nimfa after the latter's romantic encounters with Iñigo.

Set in an [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals all-animal analogue of modern Metropolitan Manila]], this decidedly ''adult'' animation centres on the eponymous Nimfa Dimaano, a young and lusty perfume salescat working in a giant mall. She navigates modern problems, like making ends meet, providing for her family, paying for her sister's tuition … oh, and the alternating affections of similarly working-class, janitor ''askal'' (mongrel) Roger on one paw, and huskyish, "Englishero", tycoon purebred Iñigo on the other. Sparks and fur are both definitely bound to fly in a situation like hers.

* ShockJock: Papa George, the goat radio DJ who dispenses advice on love and relationships, and to which Nimfa, Roger, and the masses in general listen to; he tends to be alright and even-toned for the most part, but when Nimfa actually calls him up, he berates her for screwing up her existing relationships. He even goes so far as to lampshade Nimfa's actual ''name'' as being a derivative of "nymphomaniac", which is unreasonable in-universe; it's not her fault her name suggests promiscuity.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:

* MatureAnimalStory: Nothing too explicit, but the frequent mentions of sex, dirty puns, and plethora of {{Unusual Euphemism}}s lend itself that this is definitely not for kids.
