Want an anime where the mc is misunderstood or perceived as evil, bad in general, or even as a delinquent if its a school setting, but he actually isn't a bad guy.

Bonus points if there is a girl who gets to know him and realizes he isnt bad

The male protagonist of School Rumble (not the guy in the picture below) fits this description for sure. There are a couple of girls who see his merits, though in true School Rumble tradition, neither of them are his love interest.

Kimi ni Todoke - Girl is seen as "evil", guy sees that she is the nicest person
Higashi no Eden
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - He is short tempered and violent, even tho he is nice at heart as he fought for right reasons, just too violent.

Kyou Kara Ore Wa

Two guys attempt to remake themselves in the image they want to be. One of a hero, the other of a delinquent. Both are branded as delinquents and incidentally feared by everyone. Neither is really a terrible guy though.

It's mostly a comedy, with dramatic parts. The fights are often comedic but serious in nature. It has dramatic parts, and badass parts.

Reading that reminded me that Sakamichi no Apollon also fits here. It, too, has a childhood girl friend in a similar role. In fact, a number of director Watanabe's shows like Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop have such characters.

There are a bunch of delinquents in Baccano! of various sorts. Most of them are hilarious.

There's one called "I Don't Have Many Friends" that fits that description pretty well.
