To be fair, Alicia wasn't in a position to witness first-hand the results of her grenade toss, and they were all covering their ears when it went off.
I agree that the game came off as more serious than the anime, but I suspect it's just the result of the anime trying to rush through the plot while still giving airtime to the banter and interplay between the characters. If they have to cut some of the off-duty interactions due to time constraints, some of that dialogue (like Alicia talking about her bread) is probably going to end up in the battle scenes instead.
One of my favourite aspects of the game was that it spent time exploring the characters as people, rather than having everything on and off the battlefield revolve around war and fighting, and I hope the anime continues that trend.
