i'm hoping to find a delinquent based anime in which the main character is... well a delinquent and is suddenly thrust into the roll of a hero

Tenjou Tenge sounds about right. I'll second GTO as well, since I just finished it and ending aside, it was pretty enjoyable.

anime:
- Seconding GTO!
- JoJo's Bizarre adventure (although you don't see much of Jotaro's delinquent past)
- No story at all, but you should still watch Cromartie High for the awesome delinquent artstyle
- Sakigake !! Otokojuku. If you can find the subs.

manga:
- Angel Densetsu

I second that, but in manga form. The anime just goes to the second arc.

Well Clannad has a main character that is a delinquent that reforms due to love but it is a key anime. I'm not sure that's what you are looking for though.

I third GTO. The Dub is great. The manga of Great Teacher Onizuka is good as well.

If your still looking for delinquent type anime, I suggest also trying out Beelzebub which recently started airing. The manga is pretty damn funny as well. Other's with a delinquent type main lead that fit the mold are:

Midori no Hibi
School Rumble(come's in 2 seasons)
Gokusen(same as GTO but a female teacher who teaches delinquents)

GTO, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Slam Dunk.. Also, Dear Boys and Wild Base Ballers. Dear Boys is about basketball and has its own anime (but I think the manga is better), while Wild Base Ballers is pure deliquents put in a baseball-sport manga, no anime tho' (afaik).

Beck and Eyeshield21 have a bit of deliquents too but it's not a major part. :)

It's Cromartie High School and I third Beelzebub. Check out Angel Densetsu also as a manga (might be a bit different from most but very funny).

Stop necroing the thread... its 3 years old. I don't think the OP is even around anymore.

Yu Yu Hakusho, although involving demons and super powers.
Beelzebub, same thing above.
Cromartie Koukou, a comedy with likeable characters.
