I find it hard to find good references for everyday handwriting in japanese..
I know people will write sloppily to the point of mystery in just about every language, and i think 'correct letter writing' holds little value because every hand writes different. So bad handwriting doesnt really bother me.
But i cant really tell if this would pass as bad handwriting, or if it looks more like a toddler just tried to copy text by vibes alone...
Especially in terms of kanji (and me not remembering 1in5)
(example words from jp basics)
This looks fine. Mine's worse 
The only point you could make is that it looks like computer fonts, but that's not really a bad thing, is it? I've seen far worse *Japanese* handwritings, so you're good!

My latin handwriting ranges from textbook print to minimal, so if thats case it probably fits in allright..
your handwriting is beautiful! hah, my parents always joke about my Japanese handwriting being better than my English...
just by the way, have you ever tried japanese calligraphy? you'd probably be pretty great at it!

Not quite- but ive considered learning japanese cursive for fun some day, but as long as ive got that wrist injury its probably not in my near future...
It hadn't occurred to me to think of that (mostly, I'm just happy when I can remember how to write the kanji!), but now suddenly I'm worrying my own handwriting looks bad. 
It's a funny thought, with Latin letters we all have a feel for what qualifies as neat handwriting, weird handwriting, primary-schooler handwriting, fancy handwriting, so many nuances. @mikaelster , you've opened a really interesting subject! Congrats on your writing and your Japanese journey.
It looks amazing !
believe me my one native japanese friend had sent me his kanji and I thought he had cut them all. I couldn't read them at all except the easy ones
