Oh there's plenty of filler in OOO, it's just that the concept of the conflict is so freakin' genius so that even when there's lulls of filler, story relevant exchanges of medals are ALWAYS happening. Even if the main plot of an episode doesn't particularly effect the overall story, something of note happens almost every single episode that progresses the overarching "medal collection" narrative forward.

I'd honestly recommend OOO as a starting point even more-so than W. It establishes all the key points of the series; motorcycle riding, the "home base" (strangely, often a restaurant of some sort), form changes, monster generals who manipulate civilians, the monster/Rider relationship, the balance between mystical and technological, etc. All while having two strong leads, incorporating the toyline collectibles in a natural way, and generally having decent overall pacing from start to finish.
