I don't think Ed ever pretended to lose to anyone at chess. And Ein should probably be on the list in his own right, since hacking is what he was created for, and except for the lack of fingers limiting his opportunities, he's better at it than Ed.
The hacker girl in Strike the Blood is pretty impressive, but since I can't even remember her name, I can see why she's not on the list. I took awhile deciding on worst series, and finally landed on Diabolik Lovers over Amnesia, which at least kind of had a story other than various ways to torment the main character. I really wanted to go with Flowers of Evil, because I still can't forgive them for the non-ending ending after 11 episodes of making a point to say they'd be done after 12. Well, the animators were, but the story certainly wasn't. But since it wasn't rage-worthy until then, I went with the vamps.
In Steins;Gate it's SERN. |

Yeah, I never thought that Ed lost on purpose in the Chessmaster Hex episode. You don't go for days doing almost nothing but playing a game of chess just to pretend to lose at the end, and she was clearly disappointed when she did finally lose. Besides, it's just not in Ed's nature to pretend about something like that. The episode when Ein hacked into that whacko's computer (The Brain Scratch episode, IIRC) was pretty neat. Ein and Ed were definitely made for one another (Mushroom Samba). |

Akira is awesome~~ That's such a bad description of her, though...
But actually, when I looked through other people's recommendations of characters, and someone mentioned that Love Machine is "a hack, not a hacker" I realized that that's a thing... the character sort of being a computer themselves. Having a more ingrained connection to the machines and codes than an ordinary human would. I think that's probably what disqualifies a lot of characters (like Yuki Nagato) for the title of best "hacker". spoiler[And that sort of goes for 2nd season Akira as well, considering what her mecha can do with that Magical-Girl type wand.] So awesome though. Valvrave 2nd season was just amazing. |

Well, Ruri still counts --- she hacked into spoiler[the Martian Successors' computers at the end of Prince of Darkness] and I think some of what she did to Omoikane in the original series probably counts as well (at least in the original sense of the word "hacker"). |

I don't remember Sailor Mercury ever actually hacking anything...
My hackers I'd put would be Nagi from Weiẞ Kreuz (as much as it saddens me to admit he's better than Omi), and Falcon from Bloody Monday (although it's manga/live action, no anime adaptation). |

Neither did I. Sure she's my fav scout other than Makoto , but the most she did was analysis, not any type of hacking that i know of. then again, i never saw S,Super S or the Stars series considering pioneer massacred the first two and the third never got released in the US so i wouldnt know. However there was no surprised Lain got number 1 on this list even though the ending made absolutely no sense at all and still to this day give me a freaking headache trying to understand it. |

Mercury's computer was an artifact item from the first season that pretty much doesn't come into fruition through the anime series run. Maybe it will be "fixed" in the revival. |

Regardless, nobody can hack like Major Motoko Kusenagi can, along with the Tachkoma.

To be fair, I decided to vote for an anime I actually gave 3+ episodes. Otherwise, Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai might have gotten my vote, thad I not dropped it after around 30 seconds. I was tempted to give it to Choujigen Game Neptune which I somewhat regret watching through to the end, and also to Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou, which managed to get me to dislike every single character excepting the main character. But, in the end, I decided to vote for Samurai Flamenco. It started off well in the first six episodes and got me thinking it could be a pretty good series, until it underwent not one, but TWO complete genre shifts which felt more out of place than an orang-utan in an orchestra. Playing bagpipes while juggling chainsaws. On stilts. Et cetera, et cetera. I really wanted to like it, and I did to start with, though because of that, and hence the sheer level of disappointment I felt by the end of episode 11 (when I dropped it), I'm labelling it my worst anime of the year.

I voted for the Persona 3 movie for best film, because I went to see it in theaters on opening day and loved it...
But seriously... How many of that 4.5 percent ACTUALLY SAW IT? Makes no sense. I know this isn't ANIME, but a game... But Sara Matsunaga from Ever17 pops into my head whenever I think of genius hackers. |

Danganronpa was the worst of the year for me. I had to sit through it in my anime club. Terrible characters, terrible plot, completely predictable and repetitive episodes, no pay-off, no viewing satisfaction whatsoever. I would even go so far as to say Danganronpa is among the worst anime of all time.
