there are reasons, from nearing the end of the year vacation to the last 2 episodes need special efforts from the studio? in general a studio without too much money usually have a recap somewhere for a 12 episodes anime to fill out a 13 episodes season. that is the norm now. girls und panzer I remember had 2 recaps for 1 season.

There is no notion of "vacation" for the industry, especially Christmas isn't considered as a legal day off in Japan. That said, it is very likely they scheduled a recap for the sake of the last 2 episodes.
If it was a general production issue, the recap should have been done in the middle of the cour, like before episode 6. On that note, it is best not to expect some extremely amazing stuff. One extra week is hardly enough to pull an outlandish result in term of animation.

There’s no recap episode happening.

Hata provided a link, with a very explicit description.
"ゴブリンスレイヤー達の今までの活躍を牛飼娘の目線で追う特別編をお送りします。" (Proceeding with a special recollection of Goblin slayer party's activities until now through Cow Girl perspective).
The official website even lists Episode 11 is scheduled on 22th december and Episode 12 on 29th December.

As far as the official site seems to be implying, yes it is.


EDIT: Ninja'd

[Eclar]

Yeah, next episode is a recap. This is going to hit the unaware viewers hard.
Usually recaps are not done before the finale because it ruins the mood. I wonder why did the animators do that.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

No one is ever satisfied, the farm arc is confirmed, which was the biggest concern for the fans, and now the complaint is about the recap.

They better get really good animation for the finale if that's how they are playing it.

[The Green One]

*chuckles* Charisma is Goblin Slayer's dump stat. How fitting.

I finished my review and recap, and what's this about a Recap episode now?

[RDNexus]

News on the series' official site. It states next week is a recap from Cow Girl's PoV, and the last two episodes will come in the later half of the month.

[germanturkey]

i still can't believe there were people who thought the farm arc wasn't going to happen.

as for this ep, it was a nice little hiatus. they mixed some stuff in from future chapters to potentially do a season 2 or an OAV on.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 10:

Nice that they showed a little more of Suzumiya Haruhi... err.. I mean hero-sama!

Adventurer's just relaxing at the bar. Everyone is so nice.

Only disturbing thing this episode are the numerous footprints that GS found in the farm. I got the shivers seeing that.

[moridin84]

The low key way they presented him finding the goblins tracks was nice.

[Random Wanderer]

They are coming.

[grecefar]

Well that was anticlimactic that the demon lord is dead and our hero didn't get involve in one way, unless is a fake demon lord and the real one is a goblin in the end.

and for the future of GS, he could always try and find a successor to train.

[Twi]

He outright said that he wasn't going to get involved with the Demon Lord in the third episode if I remember right. Honestly, the Demon Lord is a nameless minor character in the grand scheme of things.

No role, big impact. The ogre only got his army of goblins because of the Demon Lord's general. I'm sure various other events involving goblins have had/will have some sort of involvement of various Demon Lords/Dark Gods.

[Wheeljack83]

Not happy about the recap

[RDNexus]

It happens. Gotta deal with it
