Nanami Takahashi is a high school student entering her first year. Immediately on her first day however, she becomes the victim of a practical joke by the school's most popular guy, Motoharu Yano, who coincidentally also ends up in her class. While the two get off to a rocky start, they soon find themselves falling in love with one another and begin dating. But their relationship is marred by Yano's past which includes the death of Yano's previous girlfriend, Nana Yamamoto, and the betrayal surrounding her death. To make matters more complicated her younger sister, Yuri, is in the same class as Yano and Nanami.
As Yano struggles to come to grips with Nana's death and his unresolved feelings for her, so too must Nanami learn to understand Yano if the two hope to continue their relationship with one another. This anime is different from most shojo. It does great with the weird and spontaneity of the characters; specially with Yano the male lead.
At the beginning Takahashi is just as refreshing in her out of the blue; but unfortunately when the plot gets more anxiously intricate she becomes more and more serious and plain. And the pace of the telling is sometimes awfully slow. Nevertheless it is something to watch; and the more-more intricate is gripping in the way it is told; not because of the events described by themselves (which are a bit too soap-opera like.) but because of the way they are depicted, the way they affect the characters and their relationship; It is very realistic; you get the feeling you are witnessing a real relationship between real people with its great amount of problems and ups and downs. Therefore its sometimes hard to watch (others funny and engaging) but correlatively interesting.
In the last scene of the final episode of Bokura Ga Ita (ep. 26), Yano repeats a quote that Nanami made in an earlier episode. The quote was 'it all equals out'. In the earlier episode, where the quote originated, Nanami was explaining to Yano how he may not have anyone he loves, but there are people who really love him and thus 'shouldn't it all equal out?' Now, back to the final scene. He repeats the quote 'it all equals out' and questions it. He says, 'it didn't all equal out,' and that 'it ended up more equal.

On the positive side.' I've watched two different translations of the scene and I am still confused. I originally thought it was basically saying 'you love no one, but someone loves you a lot, so it equals out', so I'm not understanding the 'sides'. What exactly is 'the positive side'? Did he simply just mean I loved no one, Nanami loved me dearly, and it ended up being on the 'side' of me loving Nanami?

Or is there more to it? Note that this isn't a question about 'how it ended'. This is a question about the literal meaning of the final lines in the anime. I suspect it might be something lost in translation.
The answer follows when Yano entered the train: 'Because I met Takahashi. I lived to meet Takahashi.' In the end, the positive side is that at last Yano admitted he doesn't feel lonely anymore because he has Nanami.
Here is the original dialog in Japanese 七美 「どこにいてもどんなにさみしくてもつらくても ここで七美が想ってることを忘れないでね。 矢野は絶対、ひとりじゃないから」 矢野 「プラマイゼロ?」 七美 「え?」 七美 『矢野のすごくすごく好きな人はもういないのかもしれないけど それはさみしいことなのかもしれないけど、 でも矢野のことをすっごくすっごく好きな人間がいるってことはそれって プラマイゼロじゃないかなあ。だからひとりだと思わないでね』 矢野 「そうじゃなかった」 矢野 「ゼロじゃなくてプラマイプラスだったよ」 矢野 『高橋と出遭ってから、俺は高橋と出遭うために生きてきた』 Dialog source: In the original Japanese scene, Nanami used the term ', in which Yano replied with 'plus-minus plus'. Also, the main point of Nanami's quote is more about loneliness, deeper than just 'someone who likes/is liked by another'. Nanami felt that Yano was feeling lonely after his previous girlfriend had left him, but since Nanami liked Yano, he shouldn't be feeling lonely anymore, hence 'it all equals out'. But Yano couldn't move on despite that. However, after having gone through all of this, Yano finally realized that he was wrong, hence 'it ended up. on the positive side'.
