As far as the story...i thought bracketing of the story was a little nifty, but you're right its mostly just pretty.

I can't quite get lost in it being an Irish folk tale considering it's in anime form and spoken in Japanese. The story itself I find more interesting for its unapologetic vulgarity than its depth, tension, or surprise.
