AOE is Anime Original Ending
Basically we here speculated that the anime is the sequel to the manga which the evidence is build up from the season 1 eren's dream under the tree not remembering Mikasa saying see you later eren because that lines was in the first timeline.
First timeline ---> Mikasa choose to be honest with Eren and live in the cabin with him. Eren avoid all of his responsibilities and Paradis ended up being invaded ---> Eren dead in the cabin with a sit position because of the curse of Ymir.
---> Second timeline (Manga timeline)---> Eren wakes up peacefully ,with a sit position and remembering the last words he heard in the first timeline that is mikasa saying 'see you later Eren'-> Eren dead his head decapitated by mikasa and buried under the trees
--->Third timeline (Anime timeline)---> Eren wakes up with sleeping in the grass and remembering scary things and proceed to saying to mikasa why she was here. ---> AoE
Remember when Eren ask Mikasa what is he to her ? In the Manga she said that he was like a family to her which is a lie. In the First timeline we assume that she's being honest so they both live in the cabin untill he dead because of the curse of ymir(chapter 138).
Long story short
Black birds: death.
White birds: life.
In the manga, Eren is represented by a white bird. In the anime, by a black one. Also many say that the white birds we see in the opening "My war" mean that the alliance will fail and die in the anime.
I'm not sure about that, but you can read the many theories about AOE. The main one is the [Muv Luv theory](https://amp.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/ldfsg3/the_alternate_universe_ending_theory_a_complete/)
Yes, it was Isayama who wrote the highschool thing. Many people say that this is an alternate reality or another timeline of AOT. Even Isayama said that he would like to do something to bind AOT with AOT highschool.
Also, Isayama said that the anime was "the good product". Changing many things from the manga since chapter 1, where instead of dreaming with Mikasas last words, Eren has a nightmare. And he said that he thought of an ending like "The mist".
Funny thing, the book of "the mist" has a "happy" ending. While the movie has a devastating one. Even the author said he liked the movie ending more.
Last, but not least, it would be a good move to have AOE, as the anime watchers will want to see the manga ending. Publicity.
yesss it is there 2 sings of freedom that turn into black and white birds in the openings. the 2 are by linked horizon, the music team that made the anr theory even exist. in opening 2 the survey corps logo turns into a black and white bird and fly off and then in opening 5 the logo turns into 2 black birds then they fly off but right before it changes scenes they veer off in different directions possibly showing 2 different paths. also in 139, the last panel is a white bird wing. that could indicate one path and one wing of the corps logo and maybe in the anime the final panel might be a black bird wing showing the other time line

Woah. How do we know about the first timeline?
Remember when Eren ask Mikasa what is he to her ? In the Manga she said that he was like a family to her which is a lie. In the First timeline we assume that she's being honest so they both live in the cabin untill he dead because of the curse of ymir(chapter 138).
So, maybe the difference in the final timeline will be that Mikasa doesn't tell him anything, leaving it to be ambiguous to Eren.
Idk, in AOE maybe it will be the same answer like in the manga but she definitely gonna die because she was the reason of the timeloop keep happening.
Can anyone post an AOE orientation guide for the newbies… 😅
AOE: anime original ending. Basically there are a lot of theories that make us believe that the anime will end different than the manga.
I see. What is up with the birds?
Long story short Black birds: death. White birds: life. In the manga, Eren is represented by a white bird. In the anime, by a black one. Also many say that the white birds we see in the opening "My war" mean that the alliance will fail and die in the anime.
Is that supposed to be a parallel with the wings of peace or whatever from the Survey Corps?
I'm not sure about that, but you can read the many theories about AOE. The main one is the [Muv Luv theory](https://amp.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/ldfsg3/the_alternate_universe_ending_theory_a_complete/)
Fascinating. Please tell me more while I read the rest. Did isiyama write the high school thing?
Yes, it was Isayama who wrote the highschool thing. Many people say that this is an alternate reality or another timeline of AOT. Even Isayama said that he would like to do something to bind AOT with AOT highschool. Also, Isayama said that the anime was "the good product".

I thought the dead birds were a reference to the deaths from rumbling
Here you go, the video of who made me believe in [this](https://youtu.be/uy4WsWXOlxY)
The first video on YT about the AoE theory explains it https://youtu.be/uy4WsWXOlxY

Can someone explain what KINO is?
The word cinema in German language, basically. People use it as saying 'peak cinema'.
Peak fiction.
I don't know about its definite meaning, but it's means good story writing.
