Mai-HiME (2004) is a Japanese anime series that follows the story of a group of teenage girls who have been chosen to become HiMEs, or “Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment”. These girls are given special powers to fight against monsters called Orphans. While the series is primarily focused on the action and adventure of the HiMEs, there are also some moments of sexual tension and innuendo.
One of the most prominent examples of sexual tension in Mai-HiME is between the two main characters, Mai Tokiha and Takumi Tokiha.

This scene is indicative of the sexual tension between the two characters, and it is a common theme throughout the series.
Another example of sexual tension in Mai-HiME is between the characters Natsuki Kuga and Shizuru Fujino.

Finally, there are several moments of innuendo throughout the series. In one episode, Natsuki and Shizuru are discussing the possibility of a romantic relationship between them.

There's a frequent gag in the series when Mikoto buries or grabs Mai's breasts
Some innocent nudity, when characters take baths. Nothing graphic
There's an episode when all the girls' underwear are stolen, which is very comical
Natsuki is accidentally exposed, revealing she isn't wearing underwear under her skirt. You see her pelvic region before she quickly covers herself and brutally blushes. Later she explains that someone or something stole her underwear (along with other girls')
There's some cleavage in the show. Meant for fanservice
Shizuru kisses Natsuki while she was sleeping
There's a scene where Natsuki overhears an argument between Shizuru, Haruka and Yukino, and Natsuki mistook Yukino's comment to Shizuru saying that she saw Shizuru kiss Natsuki "back there" and "saw what she did to Natsuki while she slept". There's then a brief scene of a silhouetted Shizuru stripping naked and getting into the futon, lying next to the sleeping Natsuki, which was all in Natsuki's imagination, because Yukino meant that she saw Shizuru kiss Natsuki while she was sleeping just minutes before the heated argument started. There was no implication or nothing mentioned that Shizuru actually raped Natsuki while she was sleeping
Shizuru's feelings for Natsuki becomes unbearable and even tells Natsuki that she loves her. Shizuru is also very determined to get Natsuki to be hers, and even admits to Natsuki that she will be hers
Near the end of the show, Natsuki finally accepts that Shizuru loves her, and even kisses Shizuru, but reveals that she doesn't romantically love her back, though she does love her as a very close friend, which satisfies Shizuru enough
