Like, if you chose him on the first game and he is part of the council in the second game but then he appears on the third game as just Cap. Anderson again. They don't even explain right?
Do they even explain why Anderson isn't on the council anymore?

There is a ME3 codex entry about Anderson and he is now an Admiral...
"After the Alliance victory in the Battle of the Citadel, Anderson briefly served as the Citadel's first human councilor. He soon became embroiled in a Cerberus plot to abduct his friend Kahlee Sanders, however, and learned that he was unable to live a life without action. He stepped down as councilor and returned to the military to prepare for the Reaper invasion. The Alliance Parliament named Donnel Udina as his successor."
The events mentioned in the codex take place in the book Mass Effect:Retribution.

The book series actually never acknowledges that Anderson could have been made Councilor. Udina is always the Councilor in the book canon.
It was one of those things fans complained about before the ME3 ending fiasco.

It pissed me off because I wanted Anderson to be the councilor and did not want Udina at all.

Anderson not being on the Council was buried in a codex entry.
I've only found a single in-game reference that Anderson was ever even on the Council to begin with.

Which is why people should roll with making Udina as councilor in ME1 to make the plot more coherent and consistent.

We should have been able to kill Udina in ME1 or something. Would've been great if he had been in Rear Adm. Kahoku's place.

Works that way with Liara.

Nice to see major choices being respected, isn't it?
Exactly, the game shouldn't have any canon because it is up to the player and I hated the continuity flaws with ME2 (even the genesis seems to lie about what happens in ME)

I always made him the Councillor since its harder to explain why he have a spanking huge apartment on a government's official salary.
Also regardless of your choice, this always happen.
If Udina was chosen, it doesn't make sense Captain Anderson could still beat up the most powerful human in the galaxy. Nah, frak Udina.

Incorrect - "ME: Retribution" never specified who the Human Councilor was in its story, just that both Anderson and Udina were involved together working for the Alliance/humanity on the Council.

lol, Kaidan was already 18 when he killed Vyrnnus. He was 24 when he enlisted. Kaidan was older than Shepard by four years.
But I find its curious that Ashley enlisted when she was 16. Then again not all the stuff on wikia was canon.
In Retribution, I remember that he's a military advisor rather than a councilor. But Retribution is a weak sequel after Ascension.

Sad thing is, Anderson hints many times that he never wanted that position, and even playfully accused my Shepard that she put him in it and Shepard apologizes after experiencing politics herself in my last ME3 playthrough.

It would've been nice having someone in the council remotely trying to listen to you though.

He has a funny way of listening. He flat out tells Shepard in ME2 that its up to him/her to deal with the reapers. If he did listen, he would've made an effort to have get some people to find a way to stop the reapers while Shepard was dead.
The other reason why he's not councilor material is because he tells the council about Shepard's visions. Don't know why he did, but its too bad Shepard couldn't hit him over the head for that. He also has to ask Shepard about the best way to unlock the Normandy. What's next? He asks Shepard to walk him to the little boy's room?

What's next is that he repeatedly tells Shepard he was born in London.

Shepard acts surprised every time.
I still say they should have made your councilor choice matter. I was so angry that Anderson wasn't on the council in ME3. And there's no in-game explanation! It's all in a novel that I didn't read!

That, the fact that Pallin is still the head of C-Sec and the fact that Kahlee Sanders has no idea what the Reapers are despite being FLAT OUT TOLD about them (in detail) by the quarians in ME: Ascension are three key reasons why I recently sold my copy of ME: Retribution and purged its content out of my head. With an omni-spoon.

I'm pretty sure you're confusing the books. ME: Revelation Ascension does that. You know, back when BioWare actually respected player agency.
EDIT. I have confused the books myself. My bad.

ME: Revelation took place 20 years before the events of Mass Effect (before either Anderson or Udina could've been the Human Councilor), and as I stated, ME: Retribution kept the identity of the Human Councilor somewhat vague to the reader.
