MoO is about...uhm...ok, I think this is what it's about: In a near future Japan, monsters who look like humans rule the world, but most people don't realize it. The monsters leave the humans alone as long as they're regularly offered sacrifices in the form of children. There are warriors known as Meros who want to overthrow them, and they ride

QUESTION!
Does Sayoko get to do anything, or does she just sit on the sidelines being cute and buxom and apparently worshipping Kurofune? And do we ever see best friend/girlfriend again?

Sayoko ... erm, not a whole lot, IIRC. She's central to the plot in that certain things revolve around her, but she's not especially active in their resolution, IIRC.
As far as best friend/girlfriend ... uh ... maybe? That's not me avoiding spoilers, that's being honestly confused at WTFery in the series. I'm not sure we ever get a definite answer to that question.

Since it was abstract in more ways than one, I didn't really watched the cover, but tryed to find what they want with this anime. The result:
A young boy, who wants to do something unique, but can't really 'spread his wings and fly', the rules of the world hold down every creativity. Then he sees someone, who is fighting these rules, and decides to try this as well.
(How I see it, the part about Kurofune telling him, he is "not cut out for this" is just a part of life. If just with this Bocca gives up, than Kurofune was right. But he doesn't give up, and begins to walk the same path.)
He struggles to live the life he wants to live, withouth the rules that tie him down. Sure, sometimes he chooses wrong, and walks the wrong path, but he learns from his errors and goes straight at his goal.
Don't ask why, but at the end, I had the feeling of Wolf's Rain~

If nothing else, I suspect I'll have some fun with it, though possibly not the kind I'm meant to have.

The core plot of MoO is actually the type of plot I'm pretty fond of in shounen anime, and when I look past how the characters are portrayed, I can appreciate that, so far, the female characters are a driving force of the plot, in the second arc, they were even the characters with power and control. When I start to talk about it, however, I get sidetracked by the way they're all essentially reduced to sexual objects in every way possible.
(The short version of all that was that, even if it may not seem it, I find more in it worth watching than not, so far.)

And that's a fairly harmless sequence. I only watched the first two episodes.
This not-very-good amv has a few more sexy sequences

But it's true, that 'I'm high from our power' part is quite... well... disturbing.
