Right now, Taiko in osu looks a bit empty and ... sad. Can we please change that?

It would be really great if we had dancing characters, applauding crowds and more effects like in the original Taiko no Tatsujin games. Things like these would make the osu's Taiko much more pleasurable to play and watch.

Do we need a better animated pippidon? No we don't NEED it, but it would be better to have one. The one we have currently has too few frames for enough customization and looks ... boring. (sorry pippidon lovers)
Do we need more visual effects? Again, we don't NEED it but it would be amazing!
What would be interesting as well are those critters that will come out of don/pippidon/whoever whenever a note is hit. It's a nice, satisfying effect. (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSYApB0kaXU [notice the mushrooms and star coming from Don and running to the right until the end of the screen])
Do we need dancers? YES!!! We do NEED them! What's better than playing a song for someone to dance to?
A display of the current difficulty as an "emblem" behind the character. (For example, in the same video as above, you can see the bamboo behind Don. That is the "emblem" for the "Normal" difficulty. The emblem for Kantan difficulty are flowers; for Muzukashii are trees; for Oni is a demon.

I appreciate if more effort put into the Taiko graphics. It looks a bit neglected...
Thanks

not everyone can make a storyboard with dancing characters and a flashing background

although if that ever happened most people would disable sb because of lag, or put 100% dim because annoying

Because even this request get implemented, maybe people won't like it because this will cause problem for low computer.

Something like this would definitely be toggleable as it falls under the same category as storyboards.

"I can't use it so nobody else is allowed to either" is a really dumb argument. Can't use it? Don't use it.

That aside, I'm indifferent to the suggestion, but it would be a cool thing to have.

This will be nice though.

Should be added. Storyboards for this is a stupid idea. Taiko just needs a tad bit more of eye candy. Just like a bit of Kiai mode effects. More stars and sparks and stuff. Also, the current orange bar across the screen is really bland. And no, i'm not using any other skin crap.

lol the only reason why it would be "stupid" is because there is currently just a handful of Taiko Storyboarders.

However I don't like this idea. Personally something which is not needed into osu!.

I still really want to see more opinions on this even after 1 year. Even after the updates that made osu look better, taiko still looks bland and boring. Like food without salt. I really think there need to be graphical improvements.

Storyboards take way too much work for everyone (notice the lack of decent Taiko storyboards) and I can't imagine them as a viable option. I have only seen a single map with a good Taiko storyboard (https://osu.ppy.sh/s/25503)

Snowflakes, shaders and explosions were added even though that affected the performance of some players, they are able to disable it. Being able to disable these new sprites/effects I'm suggesting would be good for those who find it annoying and those who play with a potato, so let's really hope if peppy EVER implements this (unlikely), he will give an option to disable it. But I'm gonna be one of those who's going to enjoy having it.
