Does it have anything to do with:
- Toradora
- Haruhi Suzumiya
- Nanoha
Until further notice
The anime is not from the Haruhi Suzumiya or Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchises or Tora Dora.
Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.
Is it a TV Series? Does the anime have at least one OVA? Does the anime have at least one Movie?
Until further notice
Yes, Technically no (for precise wording, see below), No.
Note to all: when I'm referring to hints about the anime, I'm talking about a uniquely-named run. (E.g. I consider Gundam SEED to be a different anime from Gundam SEED Destiny, and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (original series) to be different from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's.) If I'm talking about the intellectual property as a whole, I'll say "franchise" or something of the sort and clarify accordingly. I'll highlight* the points where this might cause things to be ambiguous (MASSIVE HINT).
Recap Time:

Not an OVA, but has a unique title.... SO the anime IS a SECOND SEASON?
...a little brother should belong to his older sister, right? - Orimura Chifuyu
Is the Light Novel series licensed in the US?
Is it on this page?
Does the franchise include a manga series?

Is it from Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu? (wow that looks awkwardly written)

Until further notice
...Yeah. Thanks for putting me out of my misery. (For formality's sake, could you ask the final question more directly?)
Anyway, the answer is, Sore ga, Ai Deshou from Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!, by Mikuni Shimokawa. I'm giving this to Pokenatic with 51 hints, not counting the bonus hint of it belonging to a larger franchise.
...Now, I expect some people to get annoyed at me for this, but I will contend that the following differences are sufficient to distinguish between FMP (and The Second Raid) and Fumoffu:
FMP in general:
- Mecha anime
- 3x TV series + 1 OVA in total, including Fumoffu
- Set partly in Japan and pretty much all over the world
- Action + Romantic Comedy
Fumoffu:
- No mecha anywhere (Bonta-kun doesn't count)
- 1x TV series only, no OVA
- Set in Japan - they don't really leave the country AFAIK
- Slice of Life + Romantic Comedy (as far as regular "life" gets for Sousuke and Kaname anyway.)
...Yeah, pretty much sucked the fun out of that one. As for the hint?
Haddaway: "What is love?"
Mikuni Shimokawa: "Sore ga, ai deshou?" ("Isn't that love?", depending on how you translate it.)

Let's see... I think it's roughly equivalent to saying "Shouldn't we love." Desu is is, shou is suggestive, and ai is a noun form. So it's "Shouldn't there be love."
Man, I wish I'd studied Japanese more thoroughly in college.
Until further notice
Eh, I've seen it translated as "Isn't that love?", "That's love, isn't it?" and "I guess that's love", all of which lead to the conclusion that translators are as indecisive about love as they are about the correct way to render this line.
