Your singing is actually really good! Both your vocal tone quality and technique are pretty up there. Be warned though, even covering anime songs can occasionally get you in copyright trouble, especially if you rip the official off vocal.

I've noticed that in some spots you can be a little off on rhythm, which as a whole makes the cover seem a little less well-put-together, and can lose the dynamic effect for more dynamic songs. It's a subconscious judgment on the part of most viewers, but if you pay more attention to matching the rhythm, it will seem to listeners to just "magically" sound better :)

I really encourage you to look around for random vocaloid songs, because those tend to provide a really nice instrumental for free (I noticed your dareka, umi wo has an inst of questionable quality) and your voice and skill seem flexible enough to accommodate a number of genres. Some random suggestions to get you started - BadBye, Sarishinohara/Yonjuunana/Akaito (it's a series of sorts, though a lot of people just cover one), Bokura no Let it Be, glow, Shiwa, Ai ni Kijutsushi (愛に奇術師), and Eine Kleine (アイネクライネ). Most popular songs also have acoustic arranges that you can also cover, if you're into that.
