I would say for the first arc : long way home :
Buffy Xander Willow Dawn Guests:Giles and Andrew, Amy, Warren
No Future For You :
Buffy Xander Willow Dawn Faith Giles
I think Satsu and Renee would be guests later on...

For some reason when i thought of Satsu, I thought of the girl who played Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies

Why would Twilight be in the opening, he's a 'Big Bad', they never put the villians in the opening.

I would have to say Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Michelle Trachtenberg and Alyson Hannigan as Willow with maybe with a shorter remixed theme tune. God I can see it now!

Judging by the number of episodes that the everyone has appeared in Season Eight...mine would be:
Sarah Michelle Gellar Nicolas Brendon Michelle Trachtenberg "Satsu" And Alyson Hannigan As "Willow"

NO WAY Satsu would end up being in the opening credits!!! Are you kidding me?
It took Riley half a season before he officialy appeared in the credits, it took Anya two seasons and Tara only appeared in her very last episode after being part of the show for three years!
Therefore no way Satsu would have ended up being in the credits until season 9 or maybe only at the very end of season 9 if she turned out to be a main character in the comic.
Hence my list: Buffy (duh) Xander (main character) Willow (main character) Dawn (main character) Giles (almost a main character, but it will depend on his future appearances) Andrew (he has earned being in the credits since Season 7) Faith (potentially, if she turns out to really be part of the gang throughout the season but not for now)

but....as it stands now, giles/faith/andrew have not appeared in even half of the issues out right now...faith has only apeared in four!...so unless they join the main group then i'd say nahhh...
plus Michelle Trachtenberg was added to the main credits after 1 Episode.....LAME!

I think we have to consider the fact that the stories being told in a comic book format they can't afford to have all the characters appear in every issue but I'm pretty sure Giles and Andrew would be part of the team full time if it were on TV.
As far as Dawn is concerned, ok she was added to the credits after one episode but the whole thing about her was a twist to tell us "hey look, she's always been there!". It was a genius idea.

Ok let's clear this up: Apperances (out of 13)
Buffy: 12 issues Xander: 9 issues Willow: 9 issues Dawn: 8 issues Satsu: 8 issues!!! Giles: 7 issues Renee: 7 Issues. Andrew: 5 issues Faith: 4 Issues
So I think it should be Buffy, Xander, Dawn, Satsu, and Willow. Anyone that says Giles and Andrew "have to be in it", should toss Satsu in there as well. Because in the season 8 plotline, she's more important.

I think I'm so brave! I am sticking to my opinion and it even makes me lose Karma points!! I think I'm the only member of our community that has a negative Karma!!
But whatever... again!! It makes no sense to add Satsu to the credit in Season 8, at least at the beginning because we don't know yet if she's THAT important, let's wait and see, and because it would also reveal that she's somewhat important whereas we had no idea at first that she would be, it would be like giving that away, you know what I mean?
Plus Kennedy had a big role in season 7, she was there almost all the time with the gang, she was Willow's girlfriend, I'm saying official girlfriend, and she was never added to the opening credits.
On the contrary Andrew and Giles have been around much longer and we know they belong to the team. Now we'll have to see if they stick around a little more in the next isues.
Anyway, anybody to back me up on the Satsu debate???

Well, let's say that she could get 'access" to the opening credits by the end of the season if it turns out that she is going to stick around. But I just can't see how she could possibly be added as early as the first "episode" of season 8. Again it wouldn't be even fair to previous characters like Faith, Anya and Tara. Really.
Just curious, I haven't read issues #13 yet, is Satsu playing a big part in that last story? Maybe that could explain why I am the only one here saying she doesn't belong in the opening credits!

I think the opening credits are open for interpretation right now. We aren't even half way through Season 8, so anything goes right now in terms of the opening credits. You can look at it any number of ways, such as who was in the most issues, who has been in the credits in the past, who has had the most focus of certain issues, etc.
As of issues #1-13. I would only have Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Dawn in the credits, as they have been in the most issues and were all in the credits at the end of Season 7.
By the end of Season 8, I have a feeling Giles, Andrew, Faith, Satsu and Renee might all be included as well, but right now I think we just have to wait and see.
Those that think Satsu should be in, or Giles, Andrew, whoever, all make valid points, and I think at this point in time, it is impossible to make a definitive list. Everyone is right until that last Season 8 issue comes out and we can look back across the entire season and see who is deserving of a spot in the credits.

Right now, 13 issues in, I'd have to say just Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Dawn, with everyone else listed as "guest stars". Giles wasn't in the credits the last two years (as Tony moved home to England and only worked on the show part-time) and his role in S8 so far hasn't been big enough that I'd consider him being back to "series regular" status... yet. Faith and Andrew were never in the opening credits, and so far their roles haven't been big enough this season, either, to deserve inclusion. Satsu and Renee, well, Tara made the credits once in 3 years (and we know how well that turned out ), so tho while both have been fairly major characters so far, they haven't "earned" it yet. Even Angel, Spike, Anya, Riley, and Oz were listed as guest stars for awhile before eventually being added to the credits. But I agree with Wyndam that it's probably still too early to make any real solid judgments--hell, we're still only about a third of the way thru the season so far...

I don't think Satsu would be in them. New characters are never added right away, she is brand new. She would probably be added half way if she is VERY popular and is essential to the story like Dawn was for season 5. Orignially Dawn was going to die at the end of season 5 instead of Buffy but it obviously got chnged to Buffy.

I agree with all of what has just been said!! We can get back to this debate when Season 8 comes to an end... but it's a fact new characters never get added to the opening credits right away (except Dawn).

I have to say, this is probably the geekiest argument on the forum. LOL People fighting over who would be or wouldn't be in the opening credits of a show we'll never see. LOL, true enough. Not quite sure what even motivated me to jump into it, but then again, tho I don't advertise being a geek, I've never denied it, either...

LOL I agree, but it is something fun to think about at least. I kind of wish they would do what Brian Lynch's new comic, Everybody's Dead, is doing. On the inside cover, there is a picture of all of the main characters along with a picture. If they did that with Season 8, it would probably quell some debate.

I was thinking about it... how geeky that debate is getting! But it has been a fun debate. And when it comes to BTVS I am always ready to jump into any kind of debate.
