The reality: ya, maybe we'll just delay it at least once more and then lose the license...

Sometimes I have to wonder how Media Blasters is still going when they never release their stuff on time and have cancelled a bunch of projects as well.

I think the last thing Media Blaster released was Juuden chan back in June. http://www.amazon.com/Juden-Chan/dp/B00CBDG50S

So I assume whatever labor media blaster was using escaped in July.

It seems that Media Blasters must really have a hard time trying to get their shows out in time. Could it be that they're experiencing serious financial difficulty? Or...
Are they having problems trying to maintain a solid cast?

I hope so. When a show has a dub it makes it vastly more appealing to me, particularly if I've already seen it in Japanese and especially if I've found that I don't care for the Japanese dub.

I hope that they, somewhere down the line, end up dubbing their imminent release of YamiBo.

Media blasters should dub nothing, until they can get back on their feet and release titles on schedule. I believe they're dubbing Ladies versus Butlers. I bet they're just hoping that show will make profit when it likely wont. This company is probably going to die, shame to see another r1 company gone. Whenever I look at their pre-orders about to release on amazon, sales are always pretty low. I'd like to see them on ANNCast so we can hear how close they're to bankruptcy. Sub only blu-ray of bakuman would've been great, I'm not going to buy the dvd when the anime is hd native. Dubs are nice but not necessary, I'm a dub fan so don't go crazy. Super Robot Wars was also delayed, just noticed. So many delays and they'll still dub something when they can't release anything on schedule.

Every company does delays regularly though. Funi is the industry leader and has the marketshare of like everyone but Disney combined and even they have multiple delays nearly every month. They'd dub nothing if they didn't consider it until they could operate without regularly delaying releases.

What always amazes me with these Media Blasters delays is the people who delude themselves into thinking that everything will be alright. From what former employees of MB said in a recent ANN Cast, that company is a mess and is frankly a miracle that they have managed to release something once in a while.

Not looking good for Ladies Versus Butlers then. Though, that show's been out for quite a while, so every other company has had a chance at it by now.
