The only reason sao exist is because of its popularity in asia and they decided to english for that region.Pretty much, this is like "VitaGAF and Friends" or some $#!7. Haha.
I too am sad that it'll likely never get localized, though you never know these days. Look at Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, it's a Bamco anime game and it got localized.(and with Vita)
